The Civil War was the first major war in which orders from the capital could reach the battlefields in minutes, instead of days. News of victories and setbacks reached the capital and newspapers in minutes.

The telegraph and Morse Code made it possible for the actions and reactions of war to be more directly controlled by the leadership and for the public to learn of events as they happened.
